02' Should climate crtl blow COLD air drivers side on (cold) startup ?

Bob Loblaw

Is it set on "LOW"? Possibly. Otherwise, I don't think so.

Supossed to wait 'til engine warms up a bit, then turn on

Bob Loblaw

before it starts blowing air. I don't turn it on manually - it's always "on". Yours is different?

Phil

Temp is set to 70 and AUTO is selected....

needforsleep

what outside temp = cold startup?

Phil

Morning temps of 15F (Boston).

needforsleep

how long does it blow out cold air? and what is your definition of cold air (degF)?

Phil

Cold air blows until warm then of course it continues to blow (AUTO).

needforsleep

and outside temp to determine when to start blowing out cold air.

On a 15F day, the system should lock out the blower until the coolant is around 90F and then the air will slowly ramp up equally with rising coolant temp.

If the system is blowing out cold air for any extended period of time, then maybe your outside temp sensor is screwed up. It could be many things, but that might be somewhere to start. Verify that the car is reading 15F upon startup. The other thing to ask is, are you storing your car in a heated garage? Or an area where it's above 32F? If so, then this is your problem.

If the blower is just doing funny things like not blowing out air when it should or blowing out air when it shouldn't then you might have a blower power module failure.
